Update 1: Successful booster touchdown (admittedly, they probably had a lot larger fuel budget than orbital launches)

Update 2: Successful touchdown of capsule

Congrats to Blue Origin for success in tossing people through space!

Not directly relevant: what's annoying are the fake live streams. Then there are blatant crypto scams on top lol ugh.

I would have expected an ambulance to be at the landing/crash site just in case, for the moment I can only see pickup trucks.

This felt so underwhelming. I don't know if it's because I've seen SpaceX doing much more complicated missions or it's just not that big of a deal. They got about two minutes of zero G and came down immediately. You can experience that for much longer with a regular plane, for much less money.

It really shouldn't count as space travel unless they go into orbit around Earth.

Incredible achievement.

I had to catch myself as, at first, I was thinking “10 minutes? That’s it? And in space for a lot less than that?”. Quickly reminded myself that in the history of the world hardly anyone has gone where they have gone - 10 minutes isn’t much, but if I could I would.
